I learned long ago it's best to mis-brand their car, comment on the color, or ask, "does that thing have a hemi in it?" no matter what it is. Then they'll want to talk.

...Heck, I'm not even supposed to know anything about my car.
When I met my now wife in 2001, one of the first things she said to me upon seeing my car ('86 911 at the time) was "that one is air-cooled, right?". We've been together ever since.
